Nominate the Best Retro Games of 2009

[racketboy]

As the year draws to a close, lets take this time to reflect on the year's releases and nominate some of our retro favorites.

Here's the basic ground rules:
The game was released in 2009
It doesn't have to have 2D graphics, but a 2D perspective is usually a good rule of thumb.
It can be a compilation or a re-release (including download services)

I think that's pretty much it....
I look forward to see what games you guys enjoyed.

I will compile the results and we'll vote on them around New Years.

Thanks!

It takes us for a ride. It counts.

I'll have to nominate 'Splosion Man for sure! Very challenging platformer, and it was funny as hell!

R-Type: Dimensions was really good. I had a blast playing through R-Type I and II with the new graphics, and the ability to change to the old graphics on the fly was excellent!

I'd like to nominate Raiden Fighters Aces.

But that is an actual retro compilation and not a 2009 game.
